Visiting Cao Mansion

"Xinyue, we brought back the mammoth emperor's bone weapon refining materials from the ancient ice wasteland last time. I plan to find a weapon refining emperor to refine them into a mysterious weapon. You should go too. I want to refine one. What a mysterious weapon!"

After Ye Fan was ready, he said to Gu Xinyue.

In addition to refining a mysterious weapon himself. The other mammoth emperor's tooth was prepared for Xinyue. It is best for her to choose what kind of mysterious weapon she wants to refine.

"OK!"

Gu Xinyue was extremely happy, but she thought of a key question, "It's good, it's just..."

She didn't say anything, but looked at Mark faintly.

Ye Fan understood that she must be worried that the Mammoth King material was as high as the fifth level, and no weapon refining king was willing to help their two little Martial Kings refine these fifth-level Martial King-level mysterious weapons.

Even if you pay for it, you can't hire the King of Weapon Refining. The King of Weapon Refining was already a giant in the party, and there was no need to earn such a small amount of money by refining weapons for King Wu.

"Don't worry, you just need to think about what kind of mysterious weapon you need. Let me figure out other things!"

Ye Fan smiled.

Seeing that Ye Fan was confident, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but smile and finally felt relieved.

Whether in the Ancient Land of the Ancestral Gods, Floating Cloud Star Island, or in the Ancient Land of Ice Wasteland, Ye Fan has a way to do things that others seem to be unable to accomplish.

Now she only needs to seriously consider what kind of mysterious weapon she needs.

…

The two left the Beast Emperor Pavilion Manor in a carriage and entered the Zixuan Imperial City.

The imperial city is bustling with traffic and crowds of people.

Ye Fan took Gu Xinyue for a walk on the flower-filled streets of the imperial city.

Visited the residences of several weapon-refining emperors.

Half of the weapon refiner's house is a living place, and the other half is a large workshop for daily weapon refinement. Although the King of Weapon Refiners rarely accepts requests for weapon refining, there are disciples under his disciples who can take over the refining business, so it is not difficult to go in and take a look.

Ye Fan only looked around but didn't do anything.

"Aren't we looking for the King of Weapon Refiners to refine weapons? Why can't we just watch and tell him?"

Gu Xinyue was curious.

"Don't worry, they are not targets, just take a look. There are many emperors who refine weapons in Zixuan Imperial City, but what we are going to is the Cao Mansion!"

Ye Fan smiled lightly.

"Cao Mansion?"

Gu Xinyue was confused and didn't know what Ye Fan wanted to do.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of a huge mansion with glazed bricks covering an area of more than a hundred acres.

Owning such a huge house in the Zixuan Imperial City, which has an inch of land and a lot of stone, is definitely not something that can be achieved by wealth. Only the top aristocratic families can be so generous.

Signs such as "Cao's Mansion" and "Imperial City Thousand Years of Artifact Refining Family" are hung on the door of the mansion, indicating the prominent status of the owner of this mansion.

What is a little strange is that the thick and deep bronze door is usually open.

Although the old man of the Cao family is the king of weapon refining, he rarely takes on the weapon refining business. However, as a family of weapon refiners, the descendants and disciples of the Cao family are also weapon refiners, and they will always take on some weapon refinement business.

But today, something seemed to be happening in the Cao Mansion, but the door was locked and no visitors seemed to be seen.

Ye Fan came to see Mr. Cao from the Cao Mansion. Of course he came because he knew there was something going on at home. Otherwise, how could someone help him refine the Martial Emperor-level mysterious weapon for no reason. There is no need for him to come and visit.

"Dong dong~!"

Ye Fan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Crunch!"

After a long time, the bronze door opened.

"The Cao Mansion has been closed to visitors for the past few days. If you have something to do, please come back another day!"

An old man with a white beard guarding the door opened half of the door. He looked quite haggard, snorted coldly, and was about to close the door.

Suddenly, his hand froze, and when he saw Ye Fan's face clearly, his expression changed drastically. He was so excited that he almost trembled all over. He became furious and said sternly: "It's your kid! How dare you come here!"

"Why don't I dare to come?"

Ye Fan was very surprised. He took a closer look at the old man with a haggard white beard and finally recognized him, "Are you?...Uh, the King of Weapon Refining Yan Shi'en?"

Isn't this the King of Weapons who came to the Imperial City a few years ago to sell defective daggers in the Xuanbing Pavilion of the Zixuan Royal Family?

If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell.

Yan Shien has changed a lot from half a year ago. His hair is white, his expression is depressed, and his temperament has changed drastically. He is almost like a real gatekeeper.

No one could tell that this was once an extremely arrogant and experienced weapon-refining king.

"Master Yan, why are you working as a gatekeeper in the Cao Mansion?"

Ye Fan was also surprised and deeply surprised.

This Yan Shien is also a senior level weapon refiner king after all, and he is barely top-notch in the imperial city. How did he end up working as a janitor in the Cao Mansion?

"Why am I the janitor? It's not your fault!"

Yan Shien's eyes burned with hatred and he gritted his teeth.

Since that day, he almost sold a defective mysterious weapon to Princess Ji Rouyu, but Ye Fan saw it through at a glance, which made the princess furious, and he was immediately kicked out of the Zixuan Royal Xuanbing Pavilion.

Although the imperial city is large, the circle of the weapon refining industry is not large. Immediately, the whole city was full of uproar, and everyone accused him of having a corrupt character and that his weapon refining ability was fake.

For a time, his reputation in the imperial city was ruined, and no one dared to hire him again.

Such humiliation made him, a veteran weapon refiner for decades, almost want to commit suicide.

But it was better to die than to live. After all, he did not dare to commit suicide.

He secretly purchased some raw materials to refine the fourth-level Martial King Xuan Weapon, and bought it cheaper to sell on the streets of the Imperial City Night Market. No one else would know that he had refined it, and he could earn some money to support his family.

But a more serious problem came.

After suffering such humiliation and blow, he actually developed a mental illness, lost confidence in his ability to refine weapons, and could no longer maintain his composure while refining weapons.

After refining the fourth-order mysterious weapons several times in succession, they all failed, resulting in a large loss of Yuan Stone.

What's even more outrageous is that he tried to refine a third-order mysterious weapon, but miraculously failed. This was a fatal blow to him, causing him to completely lose the courage to start refining weapons, and he was unable to recover.

Coupled with the fact that he is getting older and does not have many good years to live, Yan Shien no longer has the ambition to make a comeback.

He studied under Mr. Cao in the Cao Mansion for many years.

The mentor saw that he was pitiful, so he took him into the Cao Mansion and made him a gatekeeper. Although the gatekeeper's status is low, and he often receives many benefits from the trustees, he treats it as retiring in the Cao Mansion.

The Cao Mansion is not at a loss either. To put it nicely, even the gatekeeper of the Cao Mansion was once a senior weapon refining king. Aren't the others even more powerful?

Yan Shien glared at Ye Fan angrily, the hatred in his heart was as endless as the great rivers of the Zixuan Dynasty.

All this bad luck was brought about by this guy in front of me.

In the past few months, he had been trying to find Ye Fan to take revenge, but Ye Fan disappeared without a trace. The imperial city was huge, and he could not find Ye Fan's whereabouts even after searching the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, he actually came to my door today.

Yan Shien was shocked and angry, and wanted to close the door and give Mark a shut-in.

But this doesn't explain his hatred.

He had to think of a way to give Mark a little color.

However, for a while, he didn't know how to deal with Mark.

Ye Fan is a martial arts king, and he is no match for him in martial arts. Moreover, this guy is also very sharp in the art of weapon refining. He can even see the subtle flaws inside the mysterious weapon. It is also very difficult to suppress this kid in the art of weapon refining.

Sharp eyes!

Yan Shien suddenly had concerns in his heart.

There are a large group of extremely high-level weapon-refining kings in the Cao Mansion. This kid must have a purpose for coming to visit eagerly.

If this kid is allowed to enter the Cao Mansion, with his sharp eyes and cunning, he will definitely offend the large group of weapon refiners in the Cao Mansion.

If he provokes a few words, the whole Cao family will deal with this guy severely without him taking action. With the wealth and power of the Cao Mansion, it would be easy to deal with a King Wu.

Yan Shien couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this wonderful idea.

"Since it's Master Yan, it will be easier!"

Seeing Yan Shien's uncertain expression, Ye Fan blocked the door and smiled. He was not afraid of Yan Shien at all. Although Master Yan became the gatekeeper of Cao Mansion, it could not influence him to enter Cao Mansion.

"Ye Fan, do you know this old man?"

Gu Xinyue was surprised.

This is not the first time he has visited Cao Mansion. Why does Ye Fan seem to know this gatekeeper, and he seems to have a "deep connection" with him.

"Old acquaintance!"

Ye Fan smiled.

"Who is an old acquaintance with you! I have been enemies with you for eight lifetimes. I will remember you even if I die!"

Yan Shien was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. He glared angrily and said, "Tell me, what on earth are you doing in Cao Mansion?"

"Meet Mr. Cao!"

Ye Fan said immediately.

"Pfft~! As the king of weapon refining, the old man can meet you whenever you want! I can help you introduce some other weapon refining masters."

Yan Shien couldn't help but sneered coldly, crossed his arms and didn't look at Mark, and looked up at the sky with his nose. But he rubbed the two fingers in his hand, and then he was willing to let Mark go in.

Although he had already made up his mind to let Ye Fan enter the Cao Mansion, he could use the power of the Cao Mansion to deal with Ye Fan severely.

But he couldn't just let him in so easily. He had to take the opportunity to get some benefits, make a big killing, and collect thousands of yuan stones. As the gatekeeper of the Cao Mansion, this is not the biggest advantage.

"Ah~! It's a small thing but not a sign of respect. This Yuan Stone is the first Yuan Stone I earned with great hard work. It's a courtesy but a small amount of affection. Please accept it with a smile to show your sincerity. Master Yan, please be accommodating!"

Ye Fan didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Master Yan rubbing his fingers, he immediately understood that this was an entrance ceremony, and he immediately stuffed a Yuan Stone into Yan Shien's hand.

"You~~~! Good!"

Yan Shien was stunned. His nose was so angry that he was so angry at the Yuan Stone that Ye Fan gave him that his nose was filled with smoke.

In the entire imperial city, who wants to visit a wealthy family, who dares to give a piece of Yuan Stone? Is this sending a beggar away, treating him like a beggar? !

He was so angry that he almost wanted to slam the door shut.

But how could he close it. If Ye Fan is not allowed to enter the Cao Mansion and be humiliated, he will not be called Yan Shien.

"A piece of yuan stone is also money, I accept it. Come in, I will take you to find the weapon refiner!"

Yan Shien was so angry that he opened the door of Cao's mansion and let Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue in.

Ye Fan smiled and entered the Cao Mansion.

Gu Xinyue followed behind, almost laughing in her heart. I don't know why Ye Fan and the old gatekeeper of Cao Mansion became enemies.

Ye Fan was clearly deliberately attacking Master Yan. How could Master Yan be Ye Fan's opponent in terms of finding trouble.

Moreover, what Ye Fan is really looking for is the old man of Cao Mansion, the king of weapon refining in Cao Mansion. Others can't see enough.
